Abstract (en)

[origin: US5574981A] PCT No. PCT/FI93/00565 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 30, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 30, 1994 PCT Filed Dec. 29, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/16336 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 21, 1994A method and an arrangement for measuring the condition of a receiver antenna at a base station of a TDMA radio system. The method includes a) transmission of a radio frequency measuring signal through an antenna line towards the antenna, b) measurement of the strength of a measuring signal component reflected back and passed along a predetermined measuring path, c) transmission of the measuring signal directly towards the receiver to the measuring path, d) measurement of the strength of the measuring signal transmitted directly along the measuring path. The measurement is performed in a time slot allocated for a radio test loop, due to which it is possible to utilize frequencies actually used for traffic.
